Presenting two real-life stories from my days of yore, although names have been changed to protect both the innocent and the guilty.
Story The First:
I knew a girl in high school – I wouldn’t say we were friends, but she was someone who had never participated in the Piggy horrors. Sally was an A+ student, on the track to an Ivy League school. Pretty (but not gorgeous) and popular (but quiet about it), she came to me one day and said that she needed to talk to me privately. I was surprised… and a bit suspicious. What did she want? But because Sally had never been overtly mean to me, even though she was part of the clique that instigated most of the callous cruelties upon me, and because I still hoped to be “accepted,” and I wanted to believe for some reason she was about to warn me...

Bullying. It's been a hot button issue for quite some time now, and honestly? No matter how many precautions we take or how much that practice is looked down upon, it's not likely ever gonna stop. But what happens when it goes too far?
From the Press Release
For anyone who has been victimized by bullying, thoughts of justice can easily be twisted into an obsession for comeuppance. But when does justice turn to revenge? Can “measure for measure” become a mind-bending thirst for retribution, blurring the lines between perpetrator and victim? Image Entertainment Inc., a subsidiary of Rlj Entertainment, examines those questions and many more with the June 18th release of the deadly thriller Prank on DVD and Digital Download. Directed by Yiuwing Lam (Rupture) and featuring a cast including Nick Renaud (Mine) and Henry Monfries (“Squaresville”), Prank may be a film today but can easily become the headline of tomorrow!

In the vein of such classic suspense thrillers as Duel or Joy Ride comes Mine starring Jason Lockhart (Vampire Boys). Mine follows Derrick, Allison and Kurt who abandon the city for a little vacation. Derrick and Kurt are best friends. Allison and Derrick are engaged to be married. Kurt believes that rules were made to be broken. Allison thinks Kurt needs to grow up. But Kurt's talent for mischief will soon draw the attention of an unwelcome stranger; a man who will teach them that in order to survive in the desert, one must follow the rules - his rules.
Mine is directed by Greg Thompson and also stars Jennifer Sun Bell (My Super Psycho Sweet 16: Part 2) and Douglas Bennett (Gone In Sixty Seconds). For such a low budgeted film, Mine appears to have really polished production values. Hopefully, it can deliver the edge of your seat thrills...

Jason Lockhart Deemed one of the potential breakout stars of the year in the horror genre by this very site, Jason Lockhart is one of the busiest actors this year with a wide variety of projects that are either in pre or post production or just recently released like Vampire Boys. Vampire Boys is a gay romantic horror comedy / drama that's out to push boundaries and open the door for a new type of film to co-exist in the indie film world. Jason Lockhart has a non fussy, awww shucks kind of screen presence that allows for him to relate to viewers as the appealing guy next door as he takes on roles playing the nerd, the lovable goofball or the everyman. However, he hasn't allowed himself to be completely corner stoned by this by playing a brooding bad boy in Mine, a cross between Steven Spielberg's Duel and the 2001 thriller Joy Ride.
